Lower electric bills for my community

Recently, "smart meters" have been replacing the old analog meters in our community. Since this replacement, electric bills have increased an incredible amount. Even doubled. Hundreds of Customers of West Kentucky Rural Electric Jackson Purchase Electric, and various electric companies have been shocked to discover "house mortgage" equivalent bills. The statement made by the companies say that the recent cold weather is the culprit. It is also believed data error is to blame as well. Our weather has been warmer than it has been in decades. Many people were not even home during the time the use was taking place.

It is believed by the people involved in this ridiculous un announced hike in electrical rates that an investigation should take place to find out exactly why their bill has increased. Most everyone is already living paycheck to paycheck. Our community deserves an intelligent answer to this event.
